There was some quite obvious picture distortion and flickering before the break with the close-up on Mark Austin at 6:30.

Damon Green's report tonight has been popular on social media. If you didn't see it he was soaking wet in torrential rain. Obviously forgot his ITV News branded umbrella.

The 'old' voice-over of "This is the ITV News at Six Thirty with..." was played out this evening.

I guess that was bound to happen really - especially on the Evening News where they don't have any rehearsal time and have live bongs. I guess the sound mixer just cued up the wrong one from the selection available on SpotOn.

I've noticed in the new Android advert some fake news graphics, which look like the old ITV News graphics from 2004. It's 9 seconds in to this video, here:

Rare outing for Andrea Byrne tonight. Think this is only her second time after her long sabbatical? Guessing Jonathan Hill must be unavailable.

Jonathan Hill has never presented a Sunday evening national bulletin that I know of.

A minor Twitter storm being conjured up about ITV News this afternoon.

An apology has been issued on ITV News's twitter:




Apparently they confused Lenny Henry who was awarded a knighthood today, with Ainsley Harriot. Shocked

That's the type of stuff that happens on Fox News!

EDIT: This has been confirmed by BBC News: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35009530

Funny why that didn't cause a 'social media storm' ?

Actually I think there was quite a bit of fuss about that which is why they issued the statement.

In a report on tonight's News at Ten, Joel Hills said that North Sea oil started flowing into Britain "50 years ago", even though it started in 1975.
